According to the server iSport.cz, Lars Friis could replace Nörgaard, who is heading to the second division Sönderjysk. In the past, he worked at Brentford, and he knows Prisk from working together at Midtjylland.
“It’s more about being able to be closer to my family and an opportunity that comes once in a while. In football, the timing is never good, so you have to make tough decisions from time to time. Now I can be at home in Denmark, closer to my family and part of a project that looks really interesting,” explained Nörgaard, who came to Sparta together with Prisk in May of this year, explaining his decision to leave.
ℹ️ Thomas Nørgaard has decided to accept the offer of head coach in Denmark, where he will be closer to his family. We would like to thank Thomas for his work for Sparta and wish him good luck in his next engagement ????
We will inform you about his successor ???? #acsparta

Sparta considered releasing him for about two weeks. “Of course, we discussed the whole situation with Tomáš Rosicky, whether it was possible for us to accept the request. In the end, we decided to comply and release Thomas. I wish him only the best,” Priske said on the departure of one of his assistants.
